And the band played on….

The 2008 Beijing Olympics drew to a close last night, and while I didn’t watch much of it, I did manage to catch glimpses of some sports which I ordinarily wouldn’t even watch.

I managed to watch some taekwondo (I still can’t believe how unexciting it is, despite being a form of deadly martial art) and greco roman wrestling (I REALLY enjoy watching this for it’s sheer intensity and grit). I even managed to see Michael Phelps win 1 of his 8 gold medals in the pool.

So, speaking of pools, and sports I normally wouldn’t watch, iBon passed me the link to this Asian Kungfu Generation video which nicely combines both of the above. It’s about synchronized swimming. Go figure.
